Abstract
Purpose: To evaluate the extent of quality of life (QoL) associated adverse events
(AEs) following PRECISION TACE with DC Bead compared with conventional
transarterial chemoembolisation (cTACE).
Methods and Materials: 201 intermediate HCC patients were treated with DC
Bead (PRECISION TACE) or conventional TACE (cTACE) with doxorubicin in
the PRECISION V clinical study. 93 patients were treated with DC Bead and 108
Patients with cTACE every 2 months and followed up for 6 months. AEs were classified
according to the South West Oncology Group criteria. QoL associated AEs
were defined as alopecia, constipation, nausea, vomiting, pyrexia, chills, asthenia,
fatigue, and headache.
Results: The biggest difference in QoL associated AEs was for alopecia: 2 patients
(2.2%) for DC-Bead versus 21 patients (19.4%) for cTACE. For other clinical
symptoms, constipation (n=10; 10.8% vs. n=13; 12%), vomiting (n=10; 10.8% vs.
n=14; 13.0%), pyrexia (n=16; 17.2% vs. n=26; 24.1%), chills (n=1; 1.1% vs. n=5;
4.6%), and headache (n=2; 2.2% vs. n=8; 7.4%) showed lower incidence in the
DC Bead group versus cTACE. Nausea, n= 15; 13.9% (n=15; 16.1%) and fatigue,
n=6; 5.6% (n=13; 14.0%) were lower for cTACE. Total dose of doxorubicin was on
average 35% higher in the DC Bead group.
Conclusion: Although patients in the DC Bead group received a higher doxorubicin
dose, less QoL associated AEs were reported for this group. Alopecia, the most obvious
outward sign of toxicity, was only reported in a tenth of DC Bead patients. Thus,
PRECISION TACE with DC Bead improves quality of life associated adverse events.
